All of these details are so important and exciting—but, somehow, it all didn't feel quite like it was really, truly happening. That is, until the kind folks at Entertainment Weekly blessed the world with a cover featuring Rory and Lorelai (that's Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham IRL, of course) and our first real glimpse at the four 90-minute movies.

One detail that surprised us, though? What Rory has been up to since the season seven finale! She's now...drumroll...a teacher. Seriously! You can see a photo of her in the classroom over on Vulture for proof. There's no official word yet on what Rory teaches (probably English, considering it says "Jane Eyre" on the blackboard behind her), and we don't know yet how or why she's no longer a journalist—but we do know that we can't wait to watch it all unfold.

So, what do we think the other characters are up to now? We'll have to wait see when the revival hits Netflix (or, you know, until more details leak). But the cast did give us a clue at the ATX Television Festival last summer about where they think their characters are now. Liza Weil told us she hopes that Paris is working "in both medicine and law," Milo Ventimiglia envisions Jess "locked on a small-fetched roof making cheese in Italy," Matt Czuchry thinks Logan is "definitely not working," and Jared Padalecki said he could see Dean taking over Doose's Market. Read all about that—plus, the all-important question of who on the cast is Team Jess, Logan, or Dean—here!
